Description

When selecting multiple items from a list, it would be nice to have some sort of indication of how many items are selected.

In this example I was trying to see how many functions started with sub_ by applying a filter in the Symbols view.

A simple indication at the bottom of the view where the selection takes place (in this case the Symbols View) showing how many items are selected would be sufficient.

Research direction

Start by locating the Symbols view and its multi-item selection handling in the repository, then inspect how the view renders status information at its bottom edge. Done means the view visibly reports the number of selected items, including after filtering and changing the selection.
